“The Marriage of Spirit” contains a theoretical as well as a practical guide towards unity consciousness by a modern mystic who grew up in a South Africa that was torn by apartheid. She also wrote a book entitled Return to Oneness together with co-author and friend Brad Laughlin. The author synthesizes her method, called “The Marriage of Spirit”, mainly from a mix of tantric yoga (especially the, for her basic, dialectical smelting of polarities, which brings an insight that is more than the sum of parts), Jnana Yoga (unifying with the Spirit of God) and modern psychology (investigation and removal of obstructing personality patterns). The first part is focused on the principles of the method (such as “The Witness”); the second part is devoted to its techniques (“The deeper Power of Processing”). Especially designed by the author for busy Western city people. A easy-to-read book with a method that excels in clarity, pedagogical insight and inspiring élan. |

the multitude of physical, mental, and emotional experiences of
modern life may be a difficult undertaking, but this beautiful book
by Leslie Temple-Thurston and Brad Laughlin offers a way through
the confusion. Based on Temple-Thurston’s transformational
workshops, The Marriage of Spirit combines modern psychological
techniques with ancient wisdom practices that help people to let
go of self-limiting habits. This work is a succinct, step-by-step
guide to processing difficult life situations and releasing the
grips they hold on us." – The Institute of Noetic Sciences |

that many of us are struggling to find along the way to experiencing
the wholeness of our true self." – Spirit of Change Magazine |

continue to be stunned by the power of The Marriage of Spirit process
in my life and in the lives of others. I began studying and doing
this work three years ago and have experienced extraordinary results.
As I apply the techniques, deep healings and amazing inner shifts
take place that produce nearly instantaneous (but long lasting)
changes in my life. I've never experienced anything like this. It
truly is life transformational… The book is masterfully written;
the processes lead you into the deepest realms of your consciousness
and then balance and clear the way for the Higher Self to be revealed
and expressed. This is a holy and sacred work; I couldn't recommend
it more highly." – Linda A. Morrow Spencer, Unity Minister |

Marriage of Spirit is one of those rare books that you recognize
as Spiritual treasure if you are walking or teaching the mystic
path. Leslie Temple-Thurston embraces those levels that are highest
and deepest with great love, passion, clarity and wisdom. Difficult
concepts like non-dual awareness become simple in her experiential
embrace. The Marriage of Spirit is poetic and practical. It is the
union of heaven and earth. My heart embraces her Essence and the
work Spirit is bringing through her. We will be using The Marriage
of Spirit in a seven week series, and will be bringing Leslie Temple-Thurston
to do an intensive at Unity of Tustin." – Rev. Marj Britt, Unity of Tustin, California |
| "The
Marriage of Spirit is the next best thing to personally experiencing
the enlightened being that Leslie Temple-Thurston is! It is practical
mysticism at its best with experiential processes to clear the ego
and discover the depths of your soul. Use step-by-step methods to
develop your neutral witness self, gain insight regarding your personal
stories through polarity processing, and understand how everything
is a projection of yourself. All this from a spiritual perspective
and without psycho-babble! This book has great material on which
to base a series of Sunday messages followed by a short or long
term processing group. If you want to go beyond mental science to
mysticism OR if you just want to learn how to live your life centered
in peace, wisdom, and love, this book is for you." – Rev. Brendalyn Bachelor, Unity Church of Santa Fe |

have used and taught this method for five years with practitioners

that separate us from our true relationship with the Divine. I highly,
highly recommend this book." – Raymond Diaz N.D., co-founder of the Opening to Life Center, Portland, Oregon |
